What the Data Tell Us

The quest for improved HIV data is nothing new. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is consistently fine-tuning the way in which data are managed and optimized. The more that we know about the services we are providing, who we are reaching, and how we are managing the care we offer, the better we are at providing care to those who need it most.

The data show that the Ryan White community has successfully been reaching the populations it has been charged to reach. It is enrolling people disproportionately affected by HIV disease—the under- and uninsured, the poor, ethnic and racial minorities, women, and people of all ages. As we move forward, we renew our commitment to improving the quality of our data and using it, in turn, to continue to improve the quality of HIV care that we are able to provide. And better care means better health and better lives for people living with HIV/AIDS.
